HID: hidraw: Replace hidraw device table mutex with a rwsem
Currently, the table that stores information about the connected hidraw
devices has a mutex to prevent concurrent hidraw users to manipulate the
hidraw table (e.g. delete an entry) while someone is trying to use
the table (e.g. issuing an ioctl to the device), preventing the kernel
to referencing a NULL pointer. However, since that every user that wants
to access the table for both manipulating it and reading it content,
this prevents concurrent access to the table for read-only operations
for different or the same device (e.g. two hidraw ioctls can't happen at
the same time, even if they are completely unrelated).
This proves to be a bottleneck and gives performance issues when using
multiple HID devices at same time, like VR kits where one can have two
controllers, the headset and some tracking sensors.
To improve the performance, replace the table mutex with a read-write
semaphore, enabling multiple threads to issue parallel syscalls to
multiple devices at the same time while protecting the table for
concurrent modifications.

- Fix a lockdep warning and potential deadlock. This is takes the
simple approach of offloading the write-to-cache done from within a
network filesystem read to a worker thread to avoid taking the
sb_writer lock from the cache backing filesystem whilst holding the
mmap lock on an inode from the network filesystem.
Jan Kara posits a scenario whereby this can cause deadlock[1], though
it's quite complex and I think requires someone in userspace to
actually do I/O on the cache files. Matthew Wilcox isn't so certain,
though[2].
An alternative way to fix this, suggested by Darrick Wong, might be
to allow cachefiles to prevent userspace from performing I/O upon the
file - something like an exclusive open - but that's beyond the scope
of a fix here if we do want to make such a facility in the future.
- In some of the error handling paths where netfs_ops->cleanup() is
called, the arguments are transposed[3]. gcc doesn't complain because
one of the parameters is void* and one of the values is void*.

x86/sme: Explicitly map new EFI memmap table as encrypted
Reserving memory using efi_mem_reserve() calls into the x86
efi_arch_mem_reserve() function. This function will insert a new EFI
memory descriptor into the EFI memory map representing the area of
memory to be reserved and marking it as EFI runtime memory. As part
of adding this new entry, a new EFI memory map is allocated and mapped.
The mapping is where a problem can occur. This new memory map is mapped
using early_memremap() and generally mapped encrypted, unless the new
memory for the mapping happens to come from an area of memory that is
marked as EFI_BOOT_SERVICES_DATA memory. In this case, the new memory will
be mapped unencrypted. However, during replacement of the old memory map,
efi_mem_type() is disabled, so the new memory map will now be long-term
mapped encrypted (in efi.memmap), resulting in the map containing invalid
data and causing the kernel boot to crash.
Since it is known that the area will be mapped encrypted going forward,
explicitly map the new memory map as encrypted using early_memremap_prot().

KVM: SVM: Do not terminate SEV-ES guests on GHCB validation failure
Currently, an SEV-ES guest is terminated if the validation of the VMGEXIT
exit code or exit parameters fails.
The VMGEXIT instruction can be issued from userspace, even though
userspace (likely) can't update the GHCB. To prevent userspace from being
able to kill the guest, return an error through the GHCB when validation
fails rather than terminating the guest. For cases where the GHCB can't be
updated (e.g. the GHCB can't be mapped, etc.), just return back to the
guest.
The new error codes are documented in the lasest update to the GHCB
specification.
KVM: SEV: Fall back to vmalloc for SEV-ES scratch area if necessary
Use kvzalloc() to allocate KVM's buffer for SEV-ES's GHCB scratch area so
that KVM falls back to __vmalloc() if physically contiguous memory isn't
available. The buffer is purely a KVM software construct, i.e. there's
no need for it to be physically contiguous.
Return appropriate error codes if setting up the GHCB scratch area for an
SEV-ES guest fails. In particular, returning -EINVAL instead of -ENOMEM
when allocating the kernel buffer could be confusing as userspace would
likely suspect a guest issue.

parisc: Mark cr16 CPU clocksource unstable on all SMP machines
In commit c8c3735997a3 ("parisc: Enhance detection of synchronous cr16

While booting up the kernel on two different C8000 machines, one with a
dual-core PA8800 and one with a dual-core PA8900 CPU, this turned out to be
wrong. The symptom was that I saw a jump in the internal clocks printed to the
syslog and strange overall behaviour. On machines which have 4 cores (2
dual-cores) the problem isn't visible, because the current logic already marked
the cr16 clocksource unstable in this case.
This patch now marks the cr16 interval timers unstable if we have more than one

sched/uclamp: Fix rq->uclamp_max not set on first enqueue
Commit d81ae8aac85c ("sched/uclamp: Fix initialization of struct
uclamp_rq") introduced a bug where uclamp_max of the rq is not reset to
match the woken up task's uclamp_max when the rq is idle.
The code was relying on rq->uclamp_max initialized to zero, so on first
enqueue
if (uc_se->value > READ_ONCE(uc_rq->value))
WRITE_ONCE(uc_rq->value, uc_se->value);
}
was actually resetting it. But since commit d81ae8aac85c changed the
default to 1024, this no longer works. And since rq->uclamp_flags is
also initialized to 0, neither above code path nor uclamp_idle_reset()
update the rq->uclamp_max on first wake up from idle.
This is only visible from first wake up(s) until the first dequeue to
idle after enabling the static key. And it only matters if the
uclamp_max of this task is < 1024 since only then its uclamp_max will be
effectively ignored.
Fix it by properly initializing rq->uclamp_flags = UCLAMP_FLAG_IDLE to
ensure uclamp_idle_reset() is called which then will update the rq
uclamp_max value as expected.

In the native case, PER_CPU_VAR(cpu_tss_rw + TSS_sp0) is the

fget: check that the fd still exists after getting a ref to it
Jann Horn points out that there is another possible race wrt Unix domain
socket garbage collection, somewhat reminiscent of the one fixed in
commit cbcf01128d0a ("af_unix: fix garbage collect vs MSG_PEEK").
See the extended comment about the garbage collection requirements added
to unix_peek_fds() by that commit for details.
The race comes from how we can locklessly look up a file descriptor just
as it is in the process of being closed, and with the right artificial
timing (Jann added a few strategic 'mdelay(500)' calls to do that), the
Unix domain socket garbage collector could see the reference count
decrement of the close() happen before fget() took its reference to the
file and the file was attached onto a new file descriptor.
This is all (intentionally) correct on the 'struct file *' side, with
RCU lookups and lockless reference counting very much part of the
design. Getting that reference count out of order isn't a problem per
se.
But the garbage collector can get confused by seeing this situation of
having seen a file not having any remaining external references and then
seeing it being attached to an fd.
In commit cbcf01128d0a ("af_unix: fix garbage collect vs MSG_PEEK") the
fix was to serialize the file descriptor install with the garbage
collector by taking and releasing the unix_gc_lock.
That's not really an option here, but since this all happens when we are
in the process of looking up a file descriptor, we can instead simply
just re-check that the file hasn't been closed in the meantime, and just
re-do the lookup if we raced with a concurrent close() of the same file
descriptor.
